Lecture Abstract:
Although French and Japanese are regarded as well-resourced languages concerning tools and linguistic resources, the French-Japanese couple is considered an under-resourced language
pair regarding its availability on the Web. Indeed, there are few bilingual electronic lexical resources of quality and which are both royalty and copyright free. French-Japanese bilingual aligned corpora and machine translation systems are equally rare. Fortunately, there are printed French-Japanese dictionaries of good quality and which are sufficiently old to be royalty-free. The Cesselin dictionary is one of such dictionaries.
During this talk, I will explain the jibiki.fr dictionary construction process and show a demo of the talk on the jibiki project (website below), including the dictionary lookup and editing interfaces,
the French-Japanese bilingual corpus, and the experimental active reading module for intercomprehension between sinogramic languages.
